Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Redefining digital clarity with a 2.2-megapixel CCD. The high-resolution lens, high-speed, high-precision auto focus and advanced program auto exposure of the PDR-M25 ensure that images are received in pristine condition before recorded using 1792 x 1200 pixels. The result is a high level of expression and color reproduction with a sharpness and clarity comparable to conventional 35mm photography. 896 x 600 pixel recording is also available in order to allow the easy download of images for computers or use on the Internet.The shot can be improved by choosing from three compression settings. The PDR-M25 stands out from the crowd with the addition of the digital 2X zoom and an optical 3X zoom lens, equivalent to a 35-114mm lens. Along with the smooth zooming between wide angle and telephoto settings at the touch of a single button, the PDR-M25 helps you push the boundaries of digital creativity.

5 out of 5 stars I was blessed with One of the good ones, I guess...   September 13, 2009
m2miranda (PA... USA)
My Toshiba PDR-M25 is little over seven years old and it is like brand new. Looks good, but above all, is still in perfect working condition. I keep it in a pouch, change the batteries frequently, and have other cameras that I use, to alternate between them and give them all a break. So far, the pics that I've taken with this Toshiba, are great pics. I have no complaints other than I wish I had invested in another one like it, just to ensure I still have one the day this one decides to not work anymore. I guess I ended up with one of the better ones from what I've read for the most part.


4 out of 5 stars Great Little Camera   November 3, 2006
CitizenKD (az)
Using a 128Mb media card and NiMH batts, I've taken many good and more than a few great photos indoors and out with my PDR-M25 since I bought it 4 years ago. I've certainly gotten my money's worth out of it many times over. As an earlier reviewer put it, the M25 does very well what it was designed to do. The bad news is that a week ago my little pal started asking me whether I wanted to format the media card which it had never done before and which I hadn't removed even once since I installed it 3 yrs ago. When I click "yes" it says "card error". Has anyone run into this problem?


5 out of 5 stars People are... frustrating. 5 stars for what the camera is meant to be.   May 30, 2006

There are ways to get around the low light problem on this camera using the manual option and adjusting the brightness/contrast. You can also switch a few other things around. I don't know what they are exactly, but they have worked for me in solving the low res problem. Anyway, the battery problem also has a solution. NIMH rechargable batteries have lasted me all day and then some for several filled cards. I use 64 mb cards. I have 2500 mah NIMH batteries. I use a plug for the camera when I upload the images to my computer to conserve the time I can use shooting pictures with the batteries.

I got this camera for free years ago and it has survived hell and back. I've literally dropped this poor thing down a rocky hill, it's been left in the rain, stepped on, and god knows what else. It's sturdy enough to survive an adult toddler like myself who can't seem to keep it out of harms way. Sturdy enough to last years mind you. I've had it for around 3 with out malfunction. Anyway. All I have to say is that people need to learn how to use their camera, stop griping, and problem solve. If you want a fancy camera that does a lot more than this one, be prepared to pay for it. You can't expect cream puffs for the price of jello.

And as far as people recieving cameras that don't work. Duds happen. That goes with mass production of a product. A few bad eggs are bound to happen. It's stupid to judge a whole product on a handful of duds.



1 out of 5 stars don't bother   April 26, 2006
D. Brixey (New York)
I am so relieved to see other bad reviews about this camera. This camera was given to me as a gift, but I have never liked it. The picture quality is awful and it is bulky and hard to handle. There are a few ways to get around some of the problems, but they too time consuming when you just want a camera to take a few great candid shots. Life is too short to use a poorly designed camera.

It has nothing to do with knowing how to use a camera.

All previous reviewers have said everything else that needs to be said.



1 out of 5 stars Model PD3300 Digital Camera   August 24, 2005

I have owned serveral Toshiba products ie TV-VCR-DVD player; This is my first digital camera. This camera is the most aggrevating electronic piece of junk I have ever owned. I have called Toshiba service (a waste of time) switched to other S/D cards and batteries.The camera works when it wants to, quits when it wants to, and doesn't work most of the time. When my $3600.00 Cinama series TV had a problem they sent someone to fix it; a few hundred for one of their cameras wont even get you a return call if you have a question. I am now the proud owner of a Fuji S3100 (great camera)which I purchase from Amazon.com(which is a good company to deal with) the PD3300 sets on my desk as a paper weight and reminder to never buy something with the Toshiba name on it. I hope I saved you some grief and money. Sincerely [...]
